nice historic pix.

I started in April 1968 and the furthest thought in my mind then was I'd still be into it 47 years later.........

Certainly gets under your skin- guess they'll bury me astride a Lambretta when the time comes.

I've had a Lambretta in one form or another since '68 although I don't ride as often as I used to- in the beginning it was use the scooter or go on the bus. Nowadays its a nice warm car in the Winter!!

I might call it a day in 2018 as it will be 50 years then- on the other hand............

And yes, it does feel like it was yesterday when I bought the first one , an LI150 S3 reg 998PHY from Ashton Park Scooters in Bristol
